[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 7650, member: 1169"] Hello, It sounds like you doing what you can to survive until the docs get their act in gear and help. Having multiple children, I can sympathize with the "what do I tell my 7 year old?". My suggestions: -explain that his brother has a problem with the electricity in his brain, that sometimes there is a lightening storm and it makes his brother lose control, and develop a plan for when a storm breaks out (maybe have some special "storm toys" in a box under your bed and he can go in your room, close the door and play quietly until it is over). -As far as "privledges" your difficult child gets because it is a basket C issue, I would consider giving some of those same privledges to your other children (would it really be so bad if they both ate a sandwich??) It does get better as you get more experienced at "warrior parenting" and the doctors add their piece of medication/therapy and the schools get on board with a proper IEP... [/QUOTE]
